The Dollar Shaving Club

Have you heard of The Dollar Shave Club? (this is not a paid post!)

I hadn't. Until The Husband introduced it to me. To put it mildly my husband has a "thing" against razors. He is always complaining about how expensive they are. Until he found The Dollar Shave Club.

Here is a little question and answer session I had with The Husband.

Me: Explain, dear Husband, what is your beef with shaving razors?

The Husband: I've been using the same brand of razors for years. So long I can't even put a number on it. Replacement blades costs over $3 each and I just can't seem to buy them anymore. I guess I'm getting cheap in my advanced age. I'd use the same blades for weeks, until it was rusted and pulling the whiskers out of my chin. Oh, and I HATE disposable razors. They all suck.

Me: How did you hear about The Dollar Shaving Club?

The Husband: I heard about the Dollar Shave Club though a friend at work. He's extremely risk adverse and cheaper than me. He knew I have this pet peeve about expensive razor blades. He figured I'd join the Dollar Shave Club and he could get an honest review once I started using the product.

Me: How long have you been a member of The Dollar Shaving Club?

The Husband: I joined the Dollar Shave Club a little over three months ago.

Me: Are you pleased with their product?

The Husband: I'm very happy with these razors. As stated above, I used the same razor for years. That being said, it took a little time to get used to the handle and they way the blade pivots on the head. By a little time, I mean three weeks or so. The handle has a little heft to it and feels good in the hand. It feels quality, like it'll last a long time. I'm equally as pleased with the razors. They are very sharp right out of the box, I mean there's not much that's better than running a brand new razor blade over your chin whiskers! And at a little over a buck a blade, I can afford to change my blades more often.

Me:Any last thoughts or comments you would like to express?

The Husband: Addition comments? Well, my buddy asked me how I liked the razors, he's now a Dollar Shave Club member as well as another friend that over heard out conversation about the Dollar Shave Club. The Club gave me a little account credit for the referrals which was really cool. I put that credit towards some One Wipe Charlies. I ordered three packages. One for myself and two for Christmas gifts. I mean who doesn't deserve to have their backsides to be minty fresh for the holidays?

The Dollar Shave Club cost $6.00 a month. The first month you get a razor handle and 4 blades. Every month after that you get 4 blades. That is $1.25 per blade. They also have twin blades and in case you need more, they have an eight blade deal as well. The super cool thing; there is no commitment You can cancel this membership at any time and walk away. I love their humor. Each package comes with a funny card. Their video's make me laugh.

The Boy is now shaving so I purchased him a membership. The holiday's are right around the corner. Do you have a shaver in your life that might appreciate The Dollar Shave Club? If so, use the link below and check it out!

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget. Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world. In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things. What is it? Well, it is a German food that is...

Tonsillectomy (Warning Photos!)

The Short Chic came down with a pretty nasty case of strep throat back in April. So, when The Boy started complaining about his throat hurting about 12 days later, I was pretty confident that he had inherited his sister's strep. Instead, The Boy was diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess growing on his right tonsil. We had to immediately see an ENT Physician who took a needle and drained the abscess. He removed about 5.5 cc of puss from The Boys throat.and then told us that once you have a peritonsillar abscess you were high risk to keep getting them. The Boy's tonsils were now compromised and needed to be removed. We were told to plan for a two week recovery so we worked a surgery into our summer plans. Between family vacations, summer sports, and the beginning of school The Boy had his second surgery. A tonsillectomy. Pre-surgery prepping went well. It must be nice to be young and have healthy veins for an IV! The Boy had lots of pre-surgery vi...

That sounds awesome! I feel his pain about expense and shaving in general, but being female it is a bit of a faux pas to be running around looking like Chewbacca, or in my case, since I am so short and ewok! I just might have to look into this!
